SUITABLY QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN TO INSPECT
A customer that believes goods are defective should ask a suitably qualified person to produce a report for our technicians to consider. A suitably qualified person is a reputable and independent technician trained and qualified to repair goods similar to our goods.
You may also ask our technicians to inspect any goods believed to be defective. We may charge a technical inspection fee equivalent to the price paid for the item, up to a maximum of R250. We will fully refund this inspection fee if the goods were defective when we supplied them.
We train our technicians to recognise any defects in goods. They can usually tell if the goods have been misused, for example if they have been neglected, damaged, altered or not used according to instructions. Our technicians will give reasons if they refuse to accept that we supplied defective goods, but will only do this if they honestly believe the goods have been misused.
